Wild and spicy with notes of apple peel, hay flowers, blue berries, blood orange zest and grapefruit, accompanied by hints of dry wood, nuts, light tobacco, wet stone and lanolin.
Palate
Dense and firm with juicy, mouth-watering salinity; a primal character displaying wonderful intensity, length and tension, defined by its texture and structure.
Character
A timelessly beautiful Silvaner that impresses less through fruit than through its compact texture and mineral depth.
Pairing
An ideal companion to robust fish dishes, roasted poultry or mushroom-based recipes.
Notes
As the only estate in the world, the winery cultivates all four colour variants of Silvaner; the Blauer Silvaner stands out for its distinctive spiciness. Naturland-certified, spontaneously fermented and aged in large wooden casks.
Tasting note
Colour & appearance
Medium golden yellow, suggesting a certain density and ripeness in the glass.
Nose
Wild and spicy, the Blaue Silvaner reveals aromas of apple skins, meadow flowers and blue berries. These are joined by blood orange peel and grapefruit, underpinned by dried wood, nuts, light tobacco, wet stone and a hint of lanolin.
Palate
Dense and firm, juicy and mouth-wateringly salty. The wine defines itself less through fruit than through texture and structure – primal, intense, with wonderful length and tension.
Finish
Long and precise, marked by mineral depth and a salty, almost smoky spiciness that lingers for a long time.
Terroir & origin
From the vineyards around Sulzfeld in Franconia, where Weingut Zehnthof Luckert has been cultivating Silvaner for generations. The vines grow on Muschelkalk soils, which impart their mineral character to the wines.
Grape variety & vinification
Blaue Silvaner is a historical colour variant of Silvaner – alongside Green, Red and Yellow, it is one of four variations that the Luckerts are the only estate in the world to cultivate. After a slightly extended maceration period, spontaneous fermentation takes place with natural yeasts, followed by maturation in large wooden casks with malolactic fermentation.
Food recommendations
A wine for robust fish dishes such as pan-fried pike-perch or trout, for white meat with a herb crust, for asparagus with hollandaise sauce, or for matured hard cheese.
Special features
The Luckerts are the only estate in the world to cultivate all four natural colour variants of Silvaner. Blaue Silvaner is considered the most aromatic of these variations – an ampelographic rarity that here results in a wine of uncompromising authenticity.
